The Truth Will Come Out

8/24/2007 5:10 PM ET | Filed under: Politik

We stand by our story 100%.

Fidel Castro is dead!

The only way the Cuban government can settle this once and for all, though, is to parade him (alive) around Havana this weekend. No pictures or video!

Hope the bastard is dead but now we're gonna have another embarassing display just like when the Heat won the NBA championship. "We're live from Hialeah where the Cubans have out their wooden spoons and frying pans beating on them like a drum in celebration of Castro's death."

There's something definitely going on here in Miami. We've seen about 20 cops roll by my office building in the past 10 minutes. And even if it's not true, you can't blame Perez for it, his speculation had to come from somewhere. All I know is that nobody in my office can concentrate on work and we're listening to Caballo Viejo super loud and dancing. I'm proud to be a Cuban-American and to live in the most beautiful city in the US, Miami. But we have to forgive those ignorant people with nothing to say but stupid comments. I would be bitter too if my whole entire childhood I had to hear "Like a Rhinestone Cowboy" while milking the cows and fending off my siblings or cousins who were trying to have sex with me.

One of my family members works with homeland security.

As of right now it is NOT CONFIRMED. They are working to confirm it. So it's just a rumor. As always.

The 4pm announcement happened. If you were paying attention you would have known that. It was a CUBAN announcement.

523

PEREZ, YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!

My husband in Hialeah just told me that the local news channels are BROADCASTING THE STORY!! I just flipped through CNN and all the other major news channels and they aren't saying anything. Just the local news in Miami.

I am convinced… HE'S DEAD!!

i find it hilarious how reliant americans are on their fox news and cnn. you guys would be confused if you came to canada and watched the world news on a local station. it's a totally different perspective than yours. i know this because i get canadian and american channels. you are all fed the icing and not the cake. we are fed that and we are forced to eat our peas too. anyhoodles, it could quite possibly be true that fidel is dead, but do you know what kind of insanity could arise if the communist regiem were to be overthrown? they have to carefully release the info because your culture is built on scare tactics and your cuban population could possibly riot. also, do some of you biggots actually believe they would go back to cuba? when i watch the news here they interview residents of cuba and they honestly don't want them back…and they despise americans. i know this because i've had several family members visit the country. in addition to that, your policies are the ones that screwed them over…not theirs.

and what exactly is gonna change in cuba if he is dead, there's a lot people left to continue whta he does!!! I do hope cuba can be free but not just from Fidel, but all his followers !

It makes sense for the CUBAN gov. to wait until night time to make an announcement. People will less likely demonstrate/revolt/riot if it is nightfall. It would be harder for people to mobilize if it is dark out.

Perez… you've lost all respect with me. I was excited at first, told a few people.. now I look like an idiot. I deserve it I guess for believing this shit, you throw out. Just another rumour… to get you some extra hits on your website. I'm very dissapointed in the way you've reported this.. stating absoloutly no sources, or credible facts. You've just lost a reader buddy
kristine says – reply to this

531

my theory is that perez's "source" is a local journalist in miami who is supposed to go to the press conference tonight. maybe the govt called a press conference but asked the local media not to say anything yet so as not to start a riot.

Hey #461, nothing irritates me quite as much as people who put other people down for being stupid and then can't spell.

"I JUST ASK THAT YOU SMILE WHEN YOU TAKE MY FOOD ORDER, BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY UNLESS YOUR AN HEIR TO A FORTUNE THAT A NUMBER OF YOU CAN FUNCTION AND SURVIVE IN THE WORKING WORLD OR IN SCHOOL WITH THE IGNORANCE THAT YOU CURRENTLY POSSESS!"

I think what you were aiming for was "unless you're an heir to a fortune…"

As for the rumor, I can't believe how blown up this has become. Craziness.

~~EXTREME UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!~~ My sister who works in Miami just called. She doesn't know about whether or not Fidel is dead, but she says there have been a ton of cops that passed through the neighborhood in the last half hour on the way to Hialeah. There are also THREE news copters by her work and a crowd of people forming. So she is assuming that the news is about to come out. There's a lot of buzz in Miami right now.

malcolm says – reply to this

553

One of the greatest leader. too his country from the exploitation of America . when Batista was running Cuba it was the play ground for the rich the poor was living in slum uneducated. while America corporations exploits Cuba natural resources. Castro took over that country and with a USA embargo educate his ppl wit a literacy rate of 98% he send doctors to other poor countries. he train doctor from poor countries for free. even American who cannot afford tuitions for American medical schools. all he ask the to do is go back to their country and help the poor. What you American need to do is get the truth from different media beside America. We watch Chinese soliders run tanks over their citizens and yet we do trade with china. if most of the Cubans in Miami were living in main with few electoral votes no one would care about Castro republicans would be beating the drum to do business with cuba. When America cannot exploite your country they turn against you.if Castro had allow America to exploit Cuba's natural resources. he could kill or lock up as many ppl he wants America would not give a dam. look how much shady character America do business over the world. haliburton is still doing business in Iran using offshore company and different name. yet Iran are killing our soliders in Iraq.

554

Dear Ms Perez, I love your site but you are becoming more and more irresponsible when it comes to reporting 'stories'. For example, Ms Winehouse texting you to correct your first assumption yesterday. Are you a blogger or a journalist? If the former, you need a good lawyer. If the latter, you need to revise your ethics. My money is on the former. Shame, I've loved your site up until now, but you can't just keep writing stuff that 'might' be true. Grow up, my friend.

****CRAAAAAZY UPDATE!!!!!!**** My sister who works in Miami just called. She says there are HUNDREDS of people downtown Miami and that they're setting up a podium outside a government building (forgot the name) and a bunch of law enforcement officials are meeting in that same building. I don't know if it's related but she says it must be for a HUGE event, such as this.

The officials on the news are denying everything, but those are lies. My family are all cops in different municipalities here in South Florida and th e regular cops have been put on alert. They are not on Alfa/Bravo, but are on alert. This is true for Miami-Dade County and Hialeah. The State Attorneys office sent everyone home under telling them there was too much traffic this first week of school. Never have they done such a thing for such a reason. I think it would be crazy for them to admit something with official confirmation from the Cuban Government, but they are on alert. I BELIEVE FIDEL IS DEAD, THEY'RE JUST DOING WHAT ALL DICTATORSHIPS DO, HIDE THE NEWS.

This rumor has been circulating in Miami for about 1 week. It has intensified today and taken over Miami. Castro is probably dead. But the Cuban government is the one that can confirm his death. So we will have to wait for the confirmation before any US news organizations will release the news. Meanwhile we can continue to celebrate his death in Miami. Viva Cuba Libre.

*******INSANE UPDATE!******* I was just contacted by a good friend of mine who said that he was told by his girlfriend who lives 1489 miles from Miami, that she was told by a hairdresser this afternoon that her friend called and said she knew of a person that was in the know and had told her that there was this website reporting that it obtained information from a source in Cuba that "Castro has pride" err…Died.

To Suzy,
I understand that people will celebrate no matter what but if you think about it the later you release the news the less people who aren't celebrating will be out on the streets. I think they want to give people a fair amount of time to get home before releasing the news just in case if some roads get blocked off or something.

Until then, I suppose, but where this puts you is something else man. If they confirm it any time soon though, kudos.
